222 MR. А. D. COTTON ON CRYPTOGAMS 
LEPIOTA GRANULOSA, Quel. Ench. Fung. p. Т. 
W. Falklands, June 1910, Vallentin, 13. 
DISTRIB. Europe. 
Excellent material in spirit was forwarded. The specimens are somewhat 
darker than usual, but otherwise they agree well both in external and in 
microscopic characters. 
MYCENA POLYGRAMMA, Quél. Ench. Fung. p. 36. 
W. Falklands, April 1911, Vallentiù, 51. 
DISTRIB. Europe. 
As this fungus is usually found in connection with logs and stumps, its 
presence in the Falklands was hardly expected. Mrs. Vallentin’s drawings 
clearly recalled M. polygramma or the allied M. galericulata, and it is by no 
means impossible that such fungi exist in the islands upon buried wood or 
branches of shrubs. The striate stem and pale margin point to M. poly- 
gramma rather than to M. galericulata, and the 4-spored basidia confirm 
this affinity, since, as Mr. Carleton Rea kindly informed me, the basidia in 
M. galericulata are bisporous. 
NAUCORIA GLEBARUM, Cooke, MS. Agaricus Glebarum, Berk. in Hook. f. 
Fl. Ant. ii. p. 447. 
Е. Falklands; on Bolax (= Azorella) glebaria, Berkeley Sound, Hooker. 
DisrriB. Falkland Islands, Kerguelen, 
A very doubtful plant. Cooke has referred it, in an MS. note at Kew, to 
Naucaria ; the spores, which agree with those of that genus, measure 8 x 4 p. 
GALERA EXQUISITA, Cotton, comb. nov. Agaricus eæquisitus, Berk. in 
Hook. f. Fl. Ant. ii. p. 447 (mot Vitt. Maug. tab. 18). 
E. Falklands; on Chiliotrichum amelloideum, Port Louis, Hooker. 
Distris. Falkland Islands. 
From the dried specimens, this would appear to be an exceedingly small 
and slender Galera. Unless a species specially connected with Chiliotrichum 
be discovered, it will, as is the case with so many of the early-described 
Agaries, probably remain unknown. 
AGARICUS CAMPESTRIS, Linn. Fl. Suec. ed. 2, р. 442, no. 1208. 
W. Falklands ; Byron Sound, Roy Cove, Carcass Island, Vallentin. 
DisrriB. All continents. 
The ordinary Mushroom is frequent in the Falklands, where it is collected 
and eaten. Mrs. Vallentin notes that is very common in the short grass 
along the banks of Byron Sound, and that during February it is plentiful at 
Roy Cove.
